Hello there my cute and crafty friends! I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog and my blog today with my latest DB project! SO excited to share!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and 4th of July!! Do you ever feel like Doodlebug can read our minds? This new Cute and Crafty Collection feels like everything I would ever dream of in a paper collection! I'm so excited to see all the projects people are going to make with this adorable creativity themed collection. Something for every crafter, from stamping to sewing and scrapbooking. I love it! It was hard to decide what to make first. I decided to make a sign for my craft room! I used a chipboard sign shape that I got at Hobby Lobby, and went to town decorating it with paint, paper, stickers, Sprinkles and much more. It's already sitting on a shelf in my craft room next to my idea books! I hope you like it! And…I hope to make you smile!
I started by painting the sign with a few coats of white Acrylic craft paint. I set it aside to dry and decided on my paper choices and stickers etc. I ended up using the pencils paper as my background paper. It has all the colors in it, and it's such a nice pattern. Next I used the Doodlebug Alex Alphabet Dies and die cut the letters from black cardstock. I mounted the letters onto a white strip of cardstock and lined it with Doodlebug Textured Cardstock. And, I knew I wanted to use that big Sticker as my main image!
I used a bunch of the mini icons stickers to add a row of happy crafting items across the top of the sign. I mean smiling ink pads and stamps?? C'mon!! It's the cutest thing I ever saw!!
I used the Doodlebug Nesting Scallops Dies to add a design element on the lower right corner and added the pencils cup sticker. I affixed the patterned paper to the chipboard sign shape using clear glue. I traced the shape with a pencil and cut the corners out by hand.
This is a whole giant pile of happiness! The colors….and everything has a smiley face – even the camera!!
This is what the sign looked like before I got started! It's so fun to decorate with Doodlebug! It took about three coats of white paint to cover all the edges. I also painted the back so it's nice and clean looking.
I used a white gel pen to add 'highlights' to the black letters. I put a heart in the middle of the letters and added some pretty floral Sprinkles elements. I added the Live Love Create sticker underneath the words.
What do you think I should make next with this collection?? There are stamps and dies too – but I don't have them yet. Maybe I'll make some cards next to share with you!! Do you love this?? Thanks for stopping by today to see my project. Be sure to pop over to the Doodlebug Blog too, and leave some love, and see all the other design team projects. Have a blessed day and I'll see you soon!! XOXO

This is ADORABLE, Wanda! SO COLORFUL & CHEERY! I was thinking, MAYBE, if you have different areas in your craft room for different crafts, you could make signs for those areas???? (Needle work, jewelry, etc.) Maybe, use those goodies to cover pencil holders, etc. in your craft room–all coordinated kind of thing??? OR cards like you said, for your crafty friends! A BEAUTIFUL JOB on your sign, Wanda!!! STAY CHEERY, FRIEND!!! 😉<3
The Cute and Crafty collection has so many goodies in it!! I love the pencil paper and this sign is so bright and cheerful you are going to be inspired every time you look at it!!! I guess I lean more to cards because I don’t have a designated room for crafting. We eat where I craft… (dining table) Lovely job and I vote for some cards, please. Have a great weekend!
Great room project! Adds a lot of cheeriness!
Fabulous plaque Wanda. Looking forward to see more from this kit. Maria x
